Stacey J. Aswad returns in a new Walt Disney World ad that launched on Jan. 2, 2026, on online platforms (h/t Gratuitous Theme Parks on X). We verified the ad is real; it appears in @WaltDisneyWorld’s Ad Library via Meta. (Since it’s an advertisement, not a regular feed video posted to Disney’s social pages, it’s not as readily available like a normal post.)
In the 15-second ad, a woman (Stacey, though not yet revealed as herself) is seen walking at nighttime in front of Cinderella Castle. A narrator says, “Here you leave today and enter a world of…”
The camera then reveals Stacey’s face as she looks down the barrel and completes the narrator’s sentence by smiling and saying, “must-dos!”
A quick montage of various Disney World attractions plays before cutting back to Stacey at the castle, where she’s joined by Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse. “Hey, girls!” Stacey greets them. “How’ve you been?!” Stacey then looks into the camera and mouths the word “Fabulous!” and the ad ends.
The commercial is a continuation of the “Walt Disney Worlds” (plural) campaign, which began in 2025 and emphasizes the many worlds guests step into on a Disney World vacation.
The legacy of Stacey and ‘Must-Do Disney’
To many Disney fans, she’s just “Stacey.” For years, Stacey J. Aswad was the face of in-room Disney resort television, the onscreen personality who hosted “Must-Do Disney,” a program sharing all the “must-dos” around Walt Disney World property.
Aswad’s exuberant performance and infectious enthusiasm for all the things to do at Disney World welcomed many a guest to their vacation year after year. In essence, if Stacey was on TV, you knew the Disney trip had begun.
“Must-Do Disney” debuted sometime in the mid-2000s. The show was updated as time progressed, with Aswad filming new segments as Disney opened new attractions. By the early 2020s, it was no longer part of Disney’s in-room programming.
